I know who is being discussed. Mostly because In conversations I had had with others, it is my understanding that the subject shop is actually telling people that the forend iron on a Parker is the final key to the puzzle in the design to tighten up the gun. I beleive we all know that is not the case per say.
That being said, a little bit of play with the forend off is not all that uncommon. You do not shoot the gun with the forend off. True, the ideal situation is a breech that is tight with no forend, but if it is tight all together, shoot it. No reason to spend a ton of money on it to fix a problem that realistically is not a problem.
Though some guns may have play with the forend off. They were NOT designed that way.
